About VK People Scraper 🔍 (вконтакте)

Need to find specific people on VKontakte for your project? This scraper is built for that. You give it a keyword—like a job title, interest, or university—and it goes to work, pulling in public profiles that match. It’s incredibly handy for recruiters looking for talent in a certain field, marketers trying to understand a local audience, or researchers building a dataset. You can even filter the results by gender to narrow things down further. For each profile, it grabs the essentials: the person’s name, their location, and their education history. This isn't about getting thousands of random profiles; it's about finding the right ones. I've used it to build targeted lead lists for niche products and to analyze the demographics of groups interested in specific topics. The data comes out clean and structured, ready to export for your CRM or analysis in a spreadsheet. If you're working with the Russian-speaking market and VK is part of your strategy, this tool saves a massive amount of manual searching.
